Weather Situation
A tropical low [1000 hPa] near Normanton in the Gulf country is moving slowly south. A trough extends from the low across northern tropics towards the coast near Cairns. The trough and low will deepen today and Wednesday with heavy falls and possible damaging winds near the tropical low. Moist and unstable air through most of central and northern Queensland will support shower and thunderstorm activity, with locally heavy falls possible with any shower or thunderstorm, mainly over the central coast and nearby inland. A high pressure system near New Zealand extends a ridge along the southern Queensland coast, leading to stable conditions in the southeast with just the slight chance of a shower.
